  Brochure

ADAPT-RC is for the design and analysis of reinforced concrete beams, slabs and floor systems. It is based on a single story frame, featuring the Equivalent Frame modeling of the ACI code as an option. Its intuitive screens and data input workflow quickly guide the user through the design process, leading to shorter design cycles.

Image 1. Span Geometry Input Screen ADAPT-RC's powerful design wizard walks the user through each step of the design process, ensuring consistent results while minimizing errors and omissions. This screen shows a user defining a frame's geometry.

Image 2. Definition of Applied Loading The definition of applied loading is as easy as selecting the appropriate load distribution model using the drag-and-drop interface and entering its value.

Image 3. 3D Solid Model of Design Strip ADAPT-RC displays the model generated by you in multiple 3D views, showing all its features, such as drop cap/panel, and steps in the slab - enabling you to examine and verify the structural model before execution.

Image 4. 3D Wirefrme Model of Design Strip A shaded 3D solid model complements the wireframe mode.

Image 5. Analysis Results ADAPT-RC presents its analysis results in comprehensive graphical and tabular formats.

Image 6. Design Results ADAPT-RC generates professional design reports. Image below is design report for a 3-span continuous T-beam.

Image 7. Setup Screen for Investigation Data Using ADAPT-RC's investigation module, user can quickly define their provided reinforcement areas by initializing from the amount of required steel, as calculated by the program.
